What I've found - and the older I get, the more I understand this and stand behind it - is, my whole life has been an exploration of telling the truth. It's scary to be truthful, and it's scary to reveal yourself, and I'm very attracted to doing things that scare me.

Everyone saying, 'She'll bring back women's skating. This will be the one to watch at the Olympics.'

Be yourself. Above all, let who you are, what you are, what you believe shine through every sentence you write, every piece you finish.

Enjoy yourself. Just try to be healthy and, you know, and watch it.
The worst part is doubt. When you doubt yourself, which we are taught to do, you get lost.
If you walk into a room and one hundred people say, 'You are a lovely, beautiful person', who isn't going to be affected by that? But you have to tell yourself not to value that.

Darkness comes. In the middle of it, the future looks blank. The temptation to quit is huge. Don't. You are in good company... You will argue with yourself that there is no way forward.
